ALWAYS/NEVER

Interjection. Sometimes hated. Always feared.
Never disrespected.

“Still getting radio silence.” I scroll down my list of followers.
“But she didn’t unfollow . . . or unfriend me.”
The word unfriend makes George tighten the strap on his
helmet. (See H for Helmet. George is what you call special. But
not to his face if you want to avoid me jackhammering yours.)
“Look, look. Alma posted another one of her kids.” Alma’s got
so many siblings and half-siblings and cousins living at her
house I lose count.
I hold up my iPad and George leans over, almost tip-
ping his desk. “Yo, see that in the background? The little
dude there on top of the fridge!” He scrolls and laughs, slam-
ming into the seat so hard it crashes into the desk behind it.
If you sit near George, it’s highly recommended you wears a
helmet too.
Teacher Man glares at us. He is annoyed because our igno-
rant asses broke the school firewall again to check social media
